'''Mushroom Retainers''' are advisers to the leader of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. The most famous Mushroom Retainer is [[Toad]]. Mushroom Retainers assist [[Princess Peach]] in her administrative duties of the country. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they were kidnapped along with the Princess by the evil [[King Bowser]]. One Mushroom Retainer appeared at the end of each castle and thanked [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] for rescuing him. However, each one infamously stated that the princess was in another castle. In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', the Mushroom Retainers keep the same role; however, there are more of them to save in this game. In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions, more than one Mushroom Retainer can be saved at the same time after beating a castle (however, the number of Mushroom Retainers that can be saved depends on the world that Mario or Luigi is in).

Mushroom Retainers also appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. In this game, there are six retainers (with Toad being one of them). These Mushroom Retainers serve the [[Chancellor]] of the Mushroom Kingdom, as he is in charge of the kingdom until Peach returns. Since this game, the Mushroom Retainers have yet to make a returning appearance (with Toad being the only confirmed Mushroom Retainer who still makes an appearance within the games). However, it is likely that the Toad servants and guards of [[Princess Peach's Castle]] have taken over the roles of the Mushroom Retainers.

Mushroom Retainers (along with Toad himself) also make their appearance in [[Super Mario 3D Land]], where they are kept in hostility by some [[False Bowser]]s. However, it should be noted that while they presume the same roles as their initial appearance, they are simply named as "Toads" as opposed to "Mushroom Retainers".
